Would it ever be correct to put Caribbean gear on a 56 senior Packard? For authenticity purposes?
Is this car white and turqouise? The lower section has yellowed?

Depends on your definition of "authentic", I suppose. The DeBois dealership in MD Caribbeanized several (maybe as many as 20) and called them Esquires and though they were dealer-done there was supposedly a factory sanction to the work. Other than one of those Esquires I'd say the answer to your question is no unless you define changes that a willing dealer might have independently undertaken to make a sale as authentic.

I think it may be stained -- maybe rust, maybe other. If you can find Jfromkanter's 56 blog you can see his car also had a lot of staining on the white. Believe his was caused by rusty water dripping down from behind the stainless. Amazing how well the paint cleaned up.

Really wanted that one (53 LWB Henney) that was in Arkansas but it was offered at the wrong time. I had a lot of cars and when I sold some to clear space, he had already parted it out and crushed it.
Which is OK, few folks are doing restorations so the cars that are not our property are subject to their owners needs. I sent an email to this seller and placed it on my watch list.
